A show dedicated to road songs, just because we can. Coming. Going. Cars. Trucks. Roads in general. Blues folk, country and southern rock vibes galore.
This week, Sam celebrates his 200th Saturday morning show by playing some old favourites he has played on the show since he first started hosting in 2019.
This week the Swap Meet opened with recent gear from Benny Sings, Larry June, Moonchild, Mike, DoomCannon, Jenevieve among others. We tipped the hat to Bob Power, the legendary engineer who passed this week, so we marked the occasion with ATCQ and Roots tunes that set the bar. If you don't know what Bob Power did for hip-hop and soul read the internet until you do.
From there things got loose in the best way: rare soul, boogie, Gary Clail/On-U, Millie Jackson talking about her fireplace, afrobeat cuts, hip-house, and a stretch of late-night Philly and Detroit flavours via Vikter Duplaix and Wajeed. Laura Nyro supplied the dollar bin jam from her Golden Jubilee minted record "Smile", Gladys Knight, and Kurt Elling with the WDR Big Band sending everyone home feeling like they'd been somewhere worth going. Good show. Glad you're listening back - big up yourself.
With both Sam and Rob away Kris returns for a solo show. And while both the S-S-Sports Report and acclaimed Emmerdale recap had to be missed in Rob's absence, he was lucky enough to be joined by Fin from 16 Tun (plus Sarah - Saturday Afternoon with Sarah) for a beer review.
